maybe more important than tweets incepting thoughts is tweets incepting vibes. every time you write a tweet you’re sending a vibe to everyone who reads it; you’re teaching them, “this is what the world is like, it contains this kind of person sending this kind of vibe” https://t.co/iOaTZYrfyt
the vibes of the tweets you RT are the vibes you "conduct" into the world even if you don't tweet much. if you cultivate good vibe taste you can meaningfully change the vibes other people in your corner of twitter see even with very little original content
